Flying Recommendations for Yosemite, Sequoia, and headed for San Diego?

[Duke_Mulligan]

Hi all,

Taking a trip in early June for a friend's wedding in San Diego, we're making a week of it and going to Yosemite and Sequoia beforehand. Flying in to Fresno to start our trip. Obviously not planning to fly in the parks! But always enjoy finding interesting things in the areas around them. Any recommendations are appreciated!!!

Lived just north of Fresno and in the SF Bay Area for many years before moving out here. Lots of open farmland to fly over but not much else. If you take a straight shot over to the coast from Fresno though and hit the Santa Cruz, Monterey area there's some good flying and photo opportunities out there then if you continue down Highway 1 and 101 you may find a place to stop and shoot photos of the California crops that feed the world as they say. If you're going down Highway 5 you can stop at the rest stops at the top of the Grapevine for some nice shots as well. Anywhere along Highway 5 as well stop and get some photos of the California Aquaduct that runs from Stockton to the Grapevine before going up over the mountains.

I flew a drone just out the park along the river all legally.

Lots of great photo opportunities. San Diego has a Class B but you'll find plenty of places to fly there too. hope you post some!
